  Cowboys were poorly fed, underpaid, overworked, deprived of sleep, choked in the dust, werecold at night, and suffered broken bones in falls from horses. African American cowboys also had to survive discrimination, bigotry, and prejudice. From courthouse records, writings, and interviews, this book tells the stories of some of these cowboys.
